I don't know why, i just thought that would be a very exciting title :D like the two would head off in a video game/Scott Pilgrim style. or something.
Welp, i'm guessing you guys read the last post, the one where i talked about my spiritual gifts. now I get to tell you, among other things, about my top strengths! again according to a website-- this one this time. I feel like it was, again, fairly accurate. It labeled me as Empathy, Communication, Positivity, Adaptability, and Developer. I really agree with positivity, empathy, and adaptability. You have no idea what i'm talking about? let me explain. :)
Positivity means that i'm kind of irrepressibly fine all the time. I mean, i get emotional and sad, for sure, but it usually swings back to Happy on the pendulum of lindsey's emotions. So this explains why i'm perfectly all right doing four hours of work study on less than adequate hours of sleep; as long as I've got music or something, i'm just having a party.
Adaptability is the reason that i didn't start my homework til, oh, 9:30 or 10:00 tonight. hahah. right. I mean, it's a good thing when life is throwing a bunch of things at me that might bother most people, but it also means that I will willingly spend an hour letting you teach me mandolin or looking through all the pictures you've taken, or spend extra time after supper talking about things that are important to girls..... which means i don't start my work until late, late, late. heh, whoops.
And then there's empathy. I usually know what people are feeling, i guess, and can answer some questions before they're asked... because i'm psychic. ;D And if i can't, or when it's not evident to me what a person is feeling/experiencing/thinking (this happens, or used to happen much more often, with my sister), i get pretty frustrated. So there's a good chance that, at some point, I will ask you what you're feeling and/or thinking. Is that being nosy? i hope not.
I can't see many links between my gifts and my themes, besides between Empathy, Adaptability, and Hospitality. there just aren't perfect matches. I shouldn't expect any, i suppose. Empathy and adaptability seem to be vital in the welcoming of people into one's home. The only change in that part of my life is that i tidied up my part of the room a little bit.... people just don't come over very often... it feels weird!
all right, i'll stop. i'm just rambling now. I will say, however, from looking at these "strengths" and "gifts," that I'm pretty sure God made me for other people-- to minister to & love them. I know i said pretty much the same thing in the last post. I guess i like hearing myself say that. :) yeah, He made us all to do this. i'd just much rather be developing relationships than checking things off my to-do list. much.
blog. check. :]
